- This invention represents an improvement in breaker and beater rolls for paper pulp beaters as used in the preparation of paper stock made from rags, straw, wood fibre etc. More particularly the invention applies to a form of beater roll known as a breaker roll, the function of which is in a preliminary way to break up large wads of materials or bundles thereof preparatory to being furnished to finishing beaters or further rening apparatus.

On regular finishing beaters theHy barswear down through their contact with the bed-plate located beneath the roll, whereas breaker rolls usually run with vsome space between the bed-plate and Hy bars of the roll, and the bars usually project further from the body of the roll and are spaced further apart in order to provide a greater bucket action for the propelling of the stock. For this classv of service it is necessary to use extremely heavy bars, and even then the bars are subjected to terrific impacts due to oversize wads of pulp, foreign substances such as stones, pieces of metal and the like, and sich foreign bodies are apt to bendthe bars back and thus they lose their effectiveness. Also Where old rags, waste paper and other refuse are deposited in the beaters there is often a great amount of abrasive matter which, in combination with water, wears off the leading edges of the bars so that they quickly become rounded along such edges. This also in a great measure reduces the of the breaking effect of the roll and bars.

This invention comprises devices of special construction and arrangement for the re-enforcement of the roll Hyv bars, as well as for their individual formation and the means for securing the Hy bars and supporting them in proper position upon the spider frames of the roll. The bracing members making a part of this invention and herein described and illustrated are believed to act to prevent the bars from bending over Vout near the cutting edge of the bars and bracing one bar against the next adjoining bar, at the same time leaving ample space between the bars for the circulation of the stock.

In `the accompanying drawings constitut. l

ing a portion of this application the construction of the various elements and their combined assemblage are illustrated. Fig. l is a fragmentary perspective view, showing the brace members secured against the Hy bars. Fig. 2 is a longitudinal section of a Hy bar used in one form of this invention. Fig. 3 is a cross section of bars illustrating the wood filling and the l0- cation of the brace member to re-enforce the Hy bar near its beating edge. Fig. 4 is a sectwo adjoining Hy tional View lengthwise through the wood Hlling and brace members, showing the sup porting spiders also in section, and the bolts employed to secure the parts in place upon the spiders. Fig. 5 is a cross-section of the parts set out in Fig. 4 taken through the wood filling between the spiders. Fig. 6 represents a sectional view lengthwise of the brace member, showing the spiders in section, the location of the wood filling, and the arrangement ofthe bolts to secure the same with the Hy bars upon the spiders. Fig. 7 is a cross section of the parts illustrated in Fig. 6 through the spider, brace member and modi- Hed Hy bars secured thereupon. Fi 8 is a sectional view of a further modifid Hy bar showing the protected edge.

Throughout the description and dra-wings the same number is used to refer to the'same part.

It is not intended to limit this invntion to the precise relative sizes of the parts shown, or to any particular materials or exact formations, as such features may be readily changed by those familiar with this subject.

Considering Fig. 1 as'showing the positions of the parts, the spider l engages the Hy i that en ages anangular'recesslO in the side' of theybar 2. The like element to wedge 9 'same general shape as before, 1 isthe same. In this arrangement of the inas best illustrated in Fig. 5, a plate l13 of hard metal isitted against the `fly bar vns will be described more in detail later in this description. A second wood filling piece 11 is set forth in Fig. 3. In this figure of the drawings it will be noted that the race membed'3re-enforces the Aily bar 2 near the upper and outermost end which is subjected to the vheaviest blows in operation.'

ConsideringFig. 4 thefly bar 12 is ofthe and the spider vention,

and the-bracemembei` v14 is placed against the plate which gives somewhat elastically andlnsures proper contact ofthe brace member and iy'bar.. The face of the brace memment with ber may havea small recess inthe fitting of thezparts together. 16 aroused to secure the wooden filling caps 17 and 18 :in place as illustrated uponv the spiders,

recesses 19 in the spiders'in Fig. 4. The lower wooden lling pieces are designated bynumbers 20 and 2 1. It will be Ynoted in Fig. 5 that the ily barsas they are arranged present to each `other surfaces that diverge l somewhat, and the'brace member 'when the spiders 1 are the same, and the brace mem bolts'a-re set up may have a partial wedging action. When one bar receives the force of a blow by impact upon its cutting edge the effect of the blow is carried back through the brace member against the .next vadjacent This improvement is intended .solely to act as a supporting brace for theiiy bar out near the cuttin e e to preventy the bar from bending bac w ich occurs'regardles of how much bracing might be applied 'at lthe bottom of the space between 'the bars or atthe top of the wood filling. In Fig. 5 it will be noted that the. lower filling piece 20 has a recess 22 formed to engage the toe 23 at the lower end ofthe y bar 12.

In Fi 6 a modified/Hy bar 24 is shown, having t e shape illustrated in Fig. 7. b.

yers 25and securing-bolts 26 substantially as before'specified. The wood filling'27 is also of like nature. The fly.

` of an inverted V type, in which the leading or i iss Vbody portion is, su

stantially in axial ali nment with the centerline of the roll. In t is construction a severe blow at the cutting edge on the leading side ofthe fly bar will be transmitted down the slanting leg 28 of the V .and

be taken up-by Likewise, a part of the blow is absorbed'by the brace members and tra'ismitted to the next bar. In a breaker and beater rollconstrucfed along the lines as set out in Fig. 7 thebars would Abe inserted into the dovetail recesses of the spiders from the end, and then ,los

the met-al keysI or 'wedges1 29, such as the mentioned wedge 9, are driven into the remain- 15 to further aid The bolts andthe bolts are shown in engagef fly 'bar near `the point `where'the adjacent bar is fastened'into the heads or spiders.

The'v bar in Figs. 7 and 8 is the beater heads or spiders.-

ing space in the dovetail recess above the toe 30 of the fly bar 24, which .effectively secures each fiy bar in the head or spider 1. In Fig. 7 is also shown an anuglar recess 31 in the outer surface of the leg- 28 of the fly bar 24, and this recess is adapted to receive a small plug 32 that may be termed a locking plug,driven in after the bars are fastened to the spiders. This would prevent the bars from moving endwse during the operation.

Fig. 8 of the drawings illustrates a slightly `modified iiy barl contemplated for use in this invention. The body of the bar 33 has a toe or'extension- 34 at lthe lower end, and an inclined supporting leg 35 which is like the leg 28 already described. The construction is practically the same as before but with a groove cut away on the leading edge of the bar, and this groove is so formed that the space from which the metal has beenremoved may be filled with an extremely hard and tough metal, preferablyv such as stellite,

which can be fused into the groove by means r of Oxy-acetylene welding or 'other welding process. Since the greater part of the wear due to `abrasion comes at the very leading edges of the bars, a comparatively small insertion of this extremely hard metal is effective in resisting wear at this point and prolongs greatly the useful life; of the bar.

The inserted metal is marked 36 .in Fig. 8.

'Ihe operation of this invention is the same as that of any breaker roll, and it is thought that by suitably bracing the ily bars near the cutting edge 'on one side as explained, and

articularly by employing the inverted V- j orm bar the bendingback of the. cutting edges of the bars will be almost eliminated and the ,life of the :roll materially increased with consequent and obvious economy in actual service. f
